The Drip System is In

Post by mewickham »

I finally took steps to compensate for my laziness. (Water changes are no fun.) I installed an overflow system on my 75-gallon tank. A slow drip of tap water-- approximately one drop per second will automatically take care of water changes. The tank will stay topped off and excess water will siphon out via overflow to the sewer. Now all I have to do is the occasional gravel vacuuming, glass cleaning, and plant pruning. I can stay lazy and my fish will be happier because their water will be fresher.
